TWO ACQUITTED OF ROBBERY CHARGES Two men were acquitted of charges of robbery with violence when arraigned in Police Court, Wednesday morning. James Bevels, 710 W. Chestnut, and William ______, 540 S. 24th St., were arrested Tuesday on warrants sworn to by Mrs. Victoria Sloan, 2530 Magazine, who charged that Ponder engaged in a fight with another man outside of Dripps Coffee Cup, 724 W. Chestnut St., and then snatched her purse containing $90.00. She said Ponder and Bevels fled in a car. The two men were later apprehended by police, who found the purse containing $27.00 in the car. Taking the stand in their own defense, the men stated that they had been engaged in a card game with the third man on the inside of the Coffee Cup, and Ponder accused the man of cheating, and demanded that Mrs. Sloan, the woman who was holding the stakes, to turn the money over to them. She was said to have declared that she could not do so without being instructed by the third man. Ponder said that the fight was the result of the refusal to turn over the money, as was the purse snatching. Ponder said he took only what money he had lost. Judge McLellen dismissed the charges.

Mr. Hall had made fishing his main pleasure and sport all through the years, according to his devoted wife, Mrs. Florence Hall, of a marriage of 41 years, and his partner in business as the race's leading florist for 23 years.

Mr. Hall left Louisville with a party made up of Curtis Brown, Sam Sublett and William Penick, Wednesday, to be gone until Thursday noon. The party motored to a lake about 20 miles from Frankfort, according to Mrs. Hall. She said that (Continued on Page 4) - [Photo] Blaine Hall
